I found an Instagram page that is selling the iPhone 6 for $300 and is accepting PayPal. Is this a scam? How can I get scammed in this situation?
Yes, of course it's a scam. It's a common one, in fact.There are several ways this scam works:The seller sends you an empty box. You complain to PayPal. The seller produces evidence that the box was shipped to you and you received it. PayPal asks you to prove the box was empty. While you're faffing around trying to do that, the seller disappears, taking your money and the money of all the other gullible suckers who fell for the scam with you. See ya!The seller delivers an iPhone. It's stolen. You try to use it. You can't, because it's been locked when the previous owner reported it stolen. Congratulations! You bought an expensive paperweight. You can try to complain, if you like. Good luck with that. You're potentially opening yourself up to charges of receiving stolen property. A prosecutor can make a good case that someone who knowingly buys a $600 product for $300 should reasonably know something is hinkey with that.You get a phone. It works. It has an Apple logo on it. But it's not an iPhone. It's running an old and likely insecure version of Android skinned to look like iOS. Surprise! You've been sold a phony Chinese counterfeit. You can file a complaint if you want. By the time you do, whatever front man for the Chinese firm is long gone and the money is out of the country. You've been fleeced.
I want to start my own business breeding cats?
Hey Angie, First thing you need to before starting is get some numbers on what the market demand is. Do a search on Google for "Bengal cat" or "Savannah cat" using the quotations, and see how many results come up. Look at the right side of the screen and see if you see any pay per click ads (if you see people advertising, that means people are buying and they're making money, which is good). Do the same search and type the city and state that you live in. (Which means you have to decide if this business will be local or national). Do the same search and type the word 'prices' after it. Check out the top few websites you see that are selling cats and look at their prices, or just call the company and act like an interested customer and ask as many questions as you can. Do the same searches on Ebay and Amazon and craigslist and see what comes up. Do the same search but look at blogs and forum and look for people talking about how much they paid for their cat. If there is a market, people will be talking about it. Think about the 4 P's of business: Planning, Production, Promotion, Placement. How will you produce these cats, feed them, clean them, store them, and keep them healthy until they are sold? How will you promote your business so people know you're the best place to buy these types of cats? How will you get these cats into customers' hands, to their houses? You have to plan all this. If you want funding from a bank, you'll need a business plan which includes your marketing plan, financial projections, decent credit, possibly collateral, previous industry experience. If you're looking for alternative funding, this guide located below will tell you a number of good sources (the guide is free). http://powerbusinessloans.com The most important thing is that you want to know the market you're planning on servicing, so you'll know what your customers want exactly, so you can give it to them. Hope this is helpful.
